Thank you guys for your answers! Three no's sounds reassuring to me! I won't make it a Domain Controller then.

I do have another question, though, about transitioning to Exchange. The 64-bit server I just bought from Dell. I (stupidly) used the Dell configuration manager to install WIndows Server 2003 onto the machine, and for some reason is set up my partitions in a weird way. I am wondering if the following hard drive/partition configuration will be suitable for installing Exchange 2007, or if I should reformat and start all over. The config is as follows:

Yeah, that's right, SAS 72 gb. That 30/38gb split sounds fine, but there's one problem, I already installed the OS. I guess that's a problem, would it hurt to reformat and start over, or should I make the 48 Gb partition an extended partition of C before I install Exchange.

ahhhh!!!! My dell servers I have now only have 12 GB. I posted on here along time ago about this and found out it was dell who did the partioning. Blow it out and make it bigger. They thought 12 GB was good enough before and it isn't. I don't think 20 would be safe for the future of microsoft. I have a domain controller with exchange on it on a 12 GB C drive. Also a note on moving exchange. I did not do the move but I know that the address book still does not work right so make sure you read about that. Although I think they went from 2000 to 2007.

Thanks for everyone's help, this site is awesome! Ok, I reformatted, and went ahead and made the whole RAID 1 an entire partition, which is about 68 gb, and the RAID 5 is about 450gb.

I do have one last question though. When installing Exchange 07, does anyone know if I will I be presented with the option to install the program files and/or log data seperately from the email databases?
